I chose to do my ofrenda on Sandy who passed away about 4 years ago. I chose her because she was one of my close aunties and I miss seeing her everyday. I included the small dream catcher because it is part of our culture. I painted it purple because I thought it would be a nice, smooth color for the ofrenda. It is traditional for my family and our ancestors to put food, tobacco and sage by a tree to feed and show respect to the spirits. As you can see, there is no picture here because I couldn’t find one of Sandy. I wish I had a picture to include in the ofrenda, but I still have the image of her face in my mind.
